The BIG Party

Our first born is 1,820 days old!  If you don't have a good-will hunting brain, that equates to 4 years, 51 weeks, and 1 day - which means he is about to hit a big milestone - the BIG 5.  

His birthday isn't actually until the 12th, but we celebrated early with 16 of Jack's closest friends at an adorable little art studio.  They specialize in the "Action Jackson Party." You may have heard of the famous painter Jackson Pollack?  No, I hadn't either.  Apparently, he is the commanding figure of the Abstract Expressionist Movement and holds the current record for the most expensive painting ever sold.  I don't think Pollack's paintings hold a candle to some of the masterpieces created by JT's very talented little buddies.

The kids seemed to love it!  Where else can you throw paint all over the wall and not get in a load of trouble?  Our little bell of the ball especially loved it.  He was eating up all the attention but still managed to keep his dude demeanor.  He is such a laid back cat it's almost impossible to get him razzed - he definitely takes after his momma in that respect.   

Spiderman also attended in the form of a cake.  It took Jack about 2.8 minutes to get all 5 candles blown out, he got there eventually.  I'm guessing there was about as much spit on that cake as there was frosting, but it was still delicious!

We also had a fun little "candy buffet" for the friends to pack their very own goody bag to go.  I called Corey last week and said "I have a brilliant idea" and his reply was "oh no, what is it (yes, he has heard this from me many times before, so he becomes a bit leery)???  "A candy buffet!" Turned out he liked this brilliant idea. :)  

Jacks little brothers got in on the action jackson too!

Thank you to all of Jack's great friends and their beyond fabulous parents who made the trek out on a Saturday afternoon to help us celebrate our 1,820 day year old sweet child named Jack.  It feels like just yesterday he rocked our world with his arrival and we fall in love with him again each and every day.  

We can't wait to celebrate many more birthdays and often daydream about what his future holds for him.  If Angelina is right, they will be making their way down the isle together as shown by the Birthday card she hand created for her little love.  I think this is quite possibly one of the sweetest things I've ever seen!
